‘Splatoon 2’ Direct: Marina, Pearl and the squid kids’ clothing options are off the hook

Nintendo just livestreamed a video presentation for its upcoming multiplayer shooter Splatoon 2, and I simply can’t get over how freakin’ fashionable all those little squidlings are.

As if Nintendo knew I was watching, the whole beginning of the 26-minute Nintendo Direct is devoted to the various clothing options you’ll be able to buy for your character. Good news: They’re glorious.

And then, to top it all off, Nintendo unveiled Off the Hook, a fashionable pop duo consisting of the wacky, endearing characters Marina and Pearl.

Splatoon 2’s clothing options are spectacular

The whole aesthetic of Splatoon 2’s clothing options can basically be described as athleisure-hipster-punk mixed with graffiti street art — and some scuba gear thrown in for good measure, of course.

Technically, each piece of gear also has various stat benefits, but really, that’s entirely irrelevant here. What really matters is whether the stripes on that boatneck sweater go with my new tights. Or, wait, maybe those shorts instead?

Splatoon 2’s Marina and Pearl are the fashionable pop duo I didn’t know I needed

Then, at the end of the presentation, Nintendo unveiled Marina and Pearl, a pop duo powerhouse with serious style.

OK, look, am I going to be downloading “Ebb and Flow” on iTunes? Probably not. But you can’t deny these ladies look killer. Those massive zippers are bold.
